vCISO Services, LLC Launches to Help Secure Small and Midsized Businesses

FRANKLIN, Tenn., Sept. 1, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- To combat the growing threat of cyber-attacks to small and medium sized businesses, vCISO Services, LLC began operations today to provide part-time seasoned executive information security expertise to organizations who cannot afford a full-time Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) at a fraction of the cost through its CISO as a Service (CaaS) products.

"There is a growing rift between the security officer 'haves' and 'have nots,'" explained vCISO Services, LLC CEO Greg Schaffer. "The bad guys know that too. We increasingly see cyber criminals targeting smaller businesses because they know their information security programs are not as robust as the big companies are. We are simply trying to do our part to level the playing field."
